In a shocking turn of events, a secret society of literary critics has revealed that elephants have been behind the world's most influential works of literature for centuries.
It started with the classics: Homer's The Odyssey, where the real hero was clearly Mr. Tusk, the elephant with a penchant for Greek wine and philosophical debates.
But it wasn't until the Renaissance that the elephant-influenced literary movement really took off. Think Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet: a tragic tale of star-crossed lovers, where the real star-crosser was a lovesick elephant named Rani.
According to our sources, the key to understanding literature lies in the trunk.
It's all about the way the trunk curves, you see. A gentle curve, like the S-curve of a well-placed trombone, indicates free will.
A straight line, on the other hand, suggests a life of rigid determinism.
So, the next time you're reading a novel, remember: it's not just about the words on the page, it's about the trunk of fate.
